We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Saint-Pierre-du-Perray in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saint-Pierre-du-Perray in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
